Lovely white, ball-shaped flowers, whose bracts resemble petals. The true flowers are the yellow in the center!
Very common on roadsides and on disturbed ground, these native perennials with their downy leaves lighten up the green spots of the garden.
Flowers are excellent to cut and use in bouquets or dry floral arrangements. They preserve well, and the shape holds up even after drying. The name says it all!
Instructions
In spring after the risk of frost has passed, scatter seeds outside and cover lightly with dirt, keeping moist until they sprout. Plants sprout very quick.
Plants need very little care and can be left to grow on their own, but a blooming fertilizer can also be applied once in the summer.
